Microsoft Todo is cross platform, available on iPhone. MS Todo is fairly basic, but seems to get the basics right.



I switched from Google Tasks to Microsoft ToDo a couple of months ago. Main reason was that Google was unreliable for reminder notifications on my android phone whereas ToDo is bulletproof in this area. You can also access ToDo from any Web browser via outlook so is cross platform.

For shared groceries lists, we've been using Our Groceries for years. It's simple to add and remove items, remembers what you've bought in the past. It does one thing, and it does it well!

I've been using Todoist. Easy to use across different devices. Can label and prioritise your tasks.

That costs US$36 per year if you want notifications. Otherwise it's ok. I made some comments about it page one.

Just explored Meister Task.

It will import from Wunderlist.

Good, but far too complex for me. It's designed for large teams where tasks need assigning etc like Agile working.

Expensive too but good if it does what you need.

I still can't see why MS bought Wunderlist just to shut it down: they should just have rebranded it.

So...they have a really good product that lots of people love.

 

MS buys them and tells them to can it.

 

Nobody likes To Do - I read one support thread where frustrated cross-platform users were complaining about waiting over 2 years for a Mac OS app.

 

Yet Wunderlist has one...

 

WHy not just cross out Wunderlist in the title block, write To Do at the top and move on?

Looks like it would have its uses, but maybe not for this, for me. More specialized gives a nicer UI.

Looks like a great concept. However, I begrudgingly acknowledge sharing personal data with the likes of Google and Microsoft, but with a smaller largely unknown company with limited track record?

I've been playing with TickTick more the past couple of days. I'm getting more impressed with it. It's really quite efficient in terms of clicks. It has heaps of features, like swiping to do different things to tasks like set due dates. You can set widgets as shortcuts to individual lists, or to add an item to a specific list. It's pretty nice. I still don't love the UI, but it's efficient and very fully featured.

I ended up deciding on TickTick. Reasons:

 

  • It's free and works well
  • Very fully featured: has all the basics like priorities, reminders, attachments, a top line that I usually use but with ability to write more in a pop up window, plus a bunch of things I don't use as I don't need them
  • Great widgets, to let me add things to specific lists. On my bottom row of apps I have a group that has six icons - home list, add to home list, shopping list, add to shopping list, work list, add to work lists. I made colored icons so I can quickly find the right list / icon
  • I can dictate things like "water the garden at 3pm tomorrow" and it will create the reminder automatically
  • It integrates with Google assistant so I can say "ok google, make a note in TickTick" - though I have assistant turned off
  • I can share specific lists with other people, like a grocery list with my wife
  • Syncs between all my devices automatically
  • Has a web interface so if I need to write more, I can

The pro version is a monthly fee to add features I don't need, US$27 per year. If they made it a "pay only" app with a subscription I might reconsider, but a "basic subscription" would be worthwhile.
